Blood Taint.
Here is a case of inherited blood taint
which resulted in what threatened to be
a complete wreck of an innocent young
life. The most serious feature of being
alllicted with a blood disease is the fact
that innocent posterity must suffer. The
man or woman with the slightest taint
in the blood forces the undesirable leg¬
acy of impurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inher¬
itance which handicaps them in the race
of life. blood
No child who has a trace of had
can be healthy or strong, and those pre¬
disposed to Scrofula are liable to a great
deal of sickness, because their constitu¬
tions are weak and cannot withstand the
many dangers which beset the path of
childhood. Medical statistics show that
a in ajorityof lung troubles result afflicted directly
from Scrofula, so that a child
with this disease is likely to fall a vic¬
tim to dreaded consumption. Adilie, N. C.,

gives the following reasons for favoring

“Our present constitution is defective

by the fact that nearly every session of
the legislature, since its adoption, has
proposed some amendment to it. it
was adopted when all our people be

Atlanta, Oct. 80.—Charles L. Del
bridge, a brother and a business part
ner to the late Thomas J. Delbridge,
whose tragic death occurred last fall at
Lakewood, declares that there has been
a CO i ispiracy against the insurauce'com
p/WllOH. He says his brother secured the
$50,000 insurance on his life after bav
ing datermmed to commit suicide, and
that the death of his brother had beoti
carefully planned and well executed.
He denies that he is seeking to re
cover the insurance, as has been pub
lished in several of the leading insur¬
ance journals, He says he was told by
his brother that suicide was intended,
hut that he begged hie brother for more
than three hours not to kill himself.
At this time, says Charles Delbridge, he
WUH successful in his entreaties, and his
brother promised not todestrov himself.
On another occasion, says Delbridge,
his brother tried to suicide with a pistol
in the room in the presence of Ins wife.
- Mr. O. YV Motes, the father of Mrs,
Delbridge,emphatically denies the state¬
ments made by Delbridge and he brands
them as false in every particular. The
counsel for Mrs. Delbridge, who are ac¬
quainted with the facts in the case, de¬
clare that Delbridge has grossly misrep¬
resented the situation and that he is
either crazy or is seeking revenge by
attempting to further harass and worry

Atlanta, Oct. 29. —Lewis Redwiue
has been pardoned out of the Ohio pen¬
itentiary by President Mi Kmley. The
pardon was granted at the urgent re¬
quest of Senator Bacon, the persistent
effort of Redwine’s counsel, Colouel
N. J. Hammond, and after several of
the most prominent judicials of the
south had attached their indorsement
to the petition. Among those who
signed the paper is Judge Pardee, who
presided over the famous trial which
resulted in the conviction of Redwiue,
Lewis Redwiue was arrested in At¬
lanta four years ago charged with
wrecking the Gate City bank, of which
lie was the assistant cashier. Thou¬
sands of dollars passed daily through
his hands, hut no error in his hooks was
detected until the day of his flight. For
days the city was searched by detec¬
tives, and all hope of his arrest had
about been abandoned when he was ac¬
cidentally discovered in a house on Mc¬
Daniel street.
His trial and the startling rumors
that swept through the city caused in¬
tense excitement., and it was reported
gild claimed by R-dwine’s friends that
others were implicated, itud that he was
being made the scapegoat.
After a most sensational trial, in
which the bank was represented by
(Japtain Harry Jackson, Redwiue was
convicted and was given a sentence of
six years in the United States peniten¬
tiary in Columbus. He has served only
about, four years, but the allowance for
good behavior would have caused his
term to have expired on Nov. 4, but for
the pardon.

Atlanta, Oct. 29 — Mrs. General
Lougstreet has resigned as assistant
state librarian. Her successor in that
position is Miss Jewett of Columbus.
The resignation is a surprise to Mrs.
L mgstroet’s former opponents, as Well
as her friends. Many of the latter did
not think that she would continue iu
the race for the first place, now that she
has been married, but nobody had any
intimation of a purpose to resign that
which she lias held. This resignation
means, of course, that she is no longer
to be considered as in the list ot candi¬
dates for the office of state librarian
Miss Jewett, who has been appointed
for the uuespired term, is an applicant
for the position of assistant librarian
for the full term, and her friends are
very confident that she will be ap¬
pointed by the next, state librarian, to
whom this power will be delegated by
the governor.
Miss Jewett has resigned an excellent
position in the state educational depart¬
ment to accept the position of assistant
librarian. Of the numerous applicants
for this position, none better prepared
or fitted for its duties could have been
selected than Miss Jewett. Her careful
and efficient discharge of the duties of
her position in the educational depart¬
ment demonstrates her capacity to assist
iu the conduct of a department of state.
